| I live in rural Northland, New Zealand with cows, pukekos, tuis, magpies, grey herons, wild ducks and a church for neighbours and look out over green paddocks onto native bush.
How I became an artist is a bit bizarre really.
I once had a completely different work persona as a professional person in the city with a very full agenda until one day I discovered I had a detached retina. Yikes !
I spent several weeks not being able to see at all ! So naturally I was over the moon when I could see again but discovered, and this is the bizarre part, that I now saw everything completely differently - an artists viewpoint ? Pretty freaky huh ?
I wouldn't recommend it as a way to experience an artistic revival but I am wrapped with my new viewpoint and perspective on life and vision !
A visit to my artist nephews studio in Victoria, Australia had me drooling at all the colors, salivating at the paints and pastels and I was itching to get my hands on all his art materials. As I... |

As promised here is the earlier sculpture with the first paper covering there were two more layers on before this one covering the chicken wire base. | | What is the mystery sculpture ?
OK - well, here he is ! Finally, the finished version - after several transitions from harlequin, aborigine on a corroborri - he turned out to be a Commando ! Painting him up in camoflage colours was almost worth all the initial drama of a major battle with constantly snarling chicken wire &being stuck to the workbench with paper mache.
I undercoated the sculpture in multicolours and the finishing touch has a touch of gold mixed in with the camoflage colour. | | The chicken wire sculpture !!!!
Recently I've been doing a chicken wire sculpture of a person in motion - haaaaahhhhhh If you think this was easy, forget it ! I have been doing this since the beginning of time I reckon
I thought it'd be a piece of cake just sketch it out, cut out the chicken wire, cover it with paper mache and zip it over with some paint to my taste.. |
